We report on the magnetic properties of the supra-molecular compound iron(II) phthalocyanine in its alpha-form. dc- and ac-susceptometry measurements and Mossbauer experiments show that the iron atoms are strongly magnetically coupled into ferromagnetic Ising chains with very weak antiferromagnetic interchain coupling. The transition to 3D magnetic ordering below 10 K is hindered by the presence of impurities or other defects, by which the domain-wall arrangements along individual chains become gradually blocked/frozen, leading to a disordered 3D distribution of ferromagnetic chain segments. Below 5 K, field-cooled and zero-field-cooled magnetization measurements show strong irreversible behavior, attributed to pinning of the domain-walls by the randomly distributed defects in combination with the interchain coupling. High-field magnetization experiments reveal a canted arrangement of the moments in adjacent ferromagnetic chains.

We calculate the angular dependence of the x-ray linear and circular dichroism at the $L_{2,3}$ edges of $alpha$-Fe(II) Phthalocyanine (FePc) thin films using a ligand field model with full configuration interaction. We find the best agreement with t he experimental spectra for a mixed ground state of $^3E_{g}(a_{1g}^2e_g^3b_{2g}^1)$ and $^3B_{2g}(a_{1g}^1e_g^4b_{2g}^1)$ with the two configurations coupled by the spin-orbit interaction. The $^3E_{g}(b)$ and $^3B_{2g}$ states have an easy axis and plane anisotropies, respectively. Our model accounts for an easy-plane magnetic anisotropy and the measured magnitudes of the in-plane orbital and spin moments. The proximity in energy of the two configurations allows a switching of the magnetic anisotropy from easy plane to easy axis with a small change in the crystal field, as recently observed for FePc adsorbed on an oxidized Cu surface. We also discuss the possibility of a quintet ground state ($^5A_{1g}$ is 250~meV above the ground state) with planar anisotropy by manipulation of the Fe-C bond length by depositing the complex on a substrate that is subjected to a mechanical strain.
The magnetic and transport properties of the metal phthalocyanine (MPc) and F$_{16}$MPc (M = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Ag) families of molecules in contact with S-Au wires are investigated by density functional theory within the local density approximation, including local electronic correlations on the central metal atom. The magnetic moments are found to be considerably modified under fluorination. In addition, they do not depend exclusively on the configuration of the outer electronic shell of the central metal atom (as in isolated MPc and F$_{16}$MPc) but also on the interaction with the leads. Good agreement between the calculated conductance and experimental results is obtained. For M = Ag, a high spin filter efficiency and conductance is observed, giving rise to a potentially high sensitivity for chemical sensor applications.
Depositing magnetic insulators on graphene has been a promising route to introduce magnetism via exchange proximity interaction in graphene for future spintronics applications. Molecule-based magnets may offer unique opportunities because of their sy nthesis versatility. Here, we investigated the magnetic proximity effect of epitaxial iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules on high-quality monolayer and bilayer graphene devices on hexagonal boron nitride substrate by probing the local and non-local transport. Although the FePc molecules introduce large hole doping effects combined with mobility degradation, the magnetic proximity gives rise to a canted antiferromagnetic state under a magnetic field in the monolayer graphene. On bilayer graphene and FePc heterostructure devices, the non-local transport reveals a pronounced Zeeman spin-Hall effect. Further analysis of the scattering mechanism in the bilayer shows a dominated long-range scattering. Our findings in graphene/organic magnetic insulator heterostructure provide a new insight for the use of molecule-based magnets in two-dimensional spintronic devices.

Ambipolar charge carrier transport in Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) is studied experimentally in field-effect transistors and metal-insulator-semiconductor diodes at various temperatures. The electronic structure and the transport properties of CuPc a ttached to leads are calculated using density functional theory and scattering theory at the non-equilibrium Greens function level. We discuss, in particular, the electronic structure of CuPc molecules attached to gold chains in different geometries to mimic the different experimental setups. The combined experimental and theoretical analysis explains the dependence of the mobilityand the transmission coefficient on the charge carrier type (electrons or holes) and on the contact geometry. We demonstrate the correspondence between our experimental results on thick films and our theoretical studies of single molecule contacts. Preliminary results for fluorinated CuPc are discussed.
Landaus Fermi liquid theory is a cornerstone of quantum many body physics. At its heart is the adiabatic connection between the elementary excitations of an interacting fermion system and those of the same system with the interactions turned off. Rec ently, this tenet has been challenged with the finding of a non-Landau Fermi liquid, that is a strongly interacting Fermi liquid that cannot be adiabatically connected to a non-interacting system. In particular, a spin-1 two-channel Kondo impurity with single-ion magnetic anisotropy $D$ has a topological quantum phase transition at a critical value $D_c$: for $D < D_c$ the system behaves as an ordinary Fermi liquid with a large Fermi level spectral weight, while above $D_c$ the system is a non-Landau Fermi liquid with a pseudogap at the Fermi level, topologically characterized by a non-trivial Friedel sum rule with non-zero Luttinger integrals. Here, we develop a non-trivial extension of this new Fermi liquid theory to general multi-orbital problems with finite magnetic field and we reinterpret in a unified and consistent fashion several experimental studies of iron phthalocyanine molecules on Au(111) metal substrate that were previously described in disconnected and conflicting ways. The differential conductance measured using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) shows a zero-bias dip that widens when the molecule is lifted from the surface and is transformed continuously into a peak under an applied magnetic field. Numerically solving a spin-1 impurity model with single-ion anisotropy for realistic parameter values, we robustly reproduce all these central features, allowing us to conclude that iron phthalocyanine molecules on Au(111) constitute the first confirmed experimental realization of a non-Landau Fermi liquid.
